Grounded: Shroom & Doom Update Adds Pets, A Terrifying 8-Legged Boss, And More

Xbox has announced their Honey-I-Shrunk-The-Kid-esque survival game, Grounded, is getting a free update packed with features fans have been asking for, features like... sitting. The ability to plop yourself on the ground, adopt pets, and build your own castle is coming with the free Shroom and Doom update, which hits both Xbox and PC on June 30.

In addition to these more light-hearted additions, the update comes with a brand-new boss: the Broodmother. While the massive and highly deadly spider was previously in the game, the new and improved Broodmother has undergone a pretty significant reworking and is now more frightening than ever before.

On the bright side, taking on the Broodmother now has an added bonus: helping you unlock one of those coveted achievements. As a part of the update, achievements are being added to Grounded, adding an extra incentive to get back to the game for completionists.

Microsoft had a lot of other big news at its E3 briefing, including lots of details on Halo Infinite, the announcement of Forza Horizon 5, and Starfield's 2022 release date.
